I am having trouble finding any "hardcore" gyms in San Diego. Everything out here seems to be a 24hr fitness. I know there are some good athletes that workout at 24hr, however I'm looking for a smaller gym that has chalk, loud music, chains, reverse hyper machine, and tough SOB's really TRAINING. Does such a place exist in the laid back So. Cal area?

RIMAC gym at UCSD is an outstanding facility. Olympic lifting platforms, power racks, DB's to 100pd +. I found out the public can get a membership for $80.00 a quarter. As already mentioned, Kregice's physique world has all Westside equipment-- what more could you ask for!!
